About Me

Melina and Denise

We are best friends who dream of living in the country and supporting ourselves doing what we love; in my case writing and jewelry making, for Melina sewing and painting. We're setting goals and taking names!View my complete profile

My cat Vanian, is such a character. He is almost 4 years old.

He has an unusual name, and most times when I'm telling someone about my cat, they will think I said his name is Damien. Then you get into the, 'No, VANIAN. Like Dave Vanian, of the Damned, like Transyl-vanian.'

Ok, most youngsters would not be familiar with the Damned, I guess. It's stupid, and they should , but I suppose I must concede that they may not. Again, so dumb. What do kids learn in school anyway?

I love the Damned, and if you've seen Tim Burton's 'Sweeny Todd', then you already know what Dave Vanian looks like. Johnny Depp looks exactly like Dave Vanian. It was so odd. I hope that Dave got a ton of money from Tim Burton for totally stealing his look.

I love Whistler.

So, my fab friend Leesa is opening a store in Windsor (more on that to follow) and she will not only be carrying Moody & Sanguine items, but my paintings as well. Love her. It's gonna be really cool, and will blog much about said store in future.

Leesa was my boss when we both worked retail back in the early 2000's. I'm pleased to say she is my friend. She has one of the kindest hearts ever, and has now fivecats. Bless her heart.

I also love John Singer Sargent.

I'm can't wait to get painting this weekend. And sewing too. Almost finished another clutch. So much to do! So hyper. Yay!
